skipping work and whatnot

well, i went in to work on thursday morning, spent two hours thinking of a way to get out of there, and finally just told them i was sick and went home.

on thursday night, i went to tour the air traffic control center. it was amazingly interesting. i spent several hours there. my friend rick is a controller and he got me in and showed me around. it was really neat to see how things work and really impressive too. it was a bit overwhelming, but i realize that he's been doing it for years, and that training takes a long time and prepares you for things.

i called in sick on friday morning again. i spent the day watching terrible daytime television, and running errands. i went to my favorite little tobacco shop and bought tobacco, papers, and filters. yeah, i know i was going to quit. i've decided to quit buying pre-rolled cigarettes for now instead. once i get too lazy to keep rolling them myself, it will be time to quit for good.

friday night, nate, david, ryan, and i drove to mankato for a friend's birthday party. we stayed until about 6:00 a.m. and then decided to drive back to the cities. we got back around 7:30 (i'd been up for about 24 hours by then) and i went to bed.

yesterday was a more productive day. i slept for about 4 and a half hours and then got up and did some cleaning. i went to target and bought some new bathroom rugs and a rug for the kitchen. we cleaned the whole apartment and then my parents came up. they brought my nordic track ellipse (now sitting in my bedroom :) yay). my dad installed a new shower head, and then they took nate and i to dinner. it was a nice day.

time for breakfast...i'm off.
